Hartsfield-Jackson advertising contract approved
After a decade of legal wrangling, the Atlanta airport advertising contract is moving forward with little conflict and commotion.
That’s not to say everyone was happy about the contracting process. But after the city pre-qualified four companies for the bidding process, only one bid came in — from incumbent Clear Channel Outdoor.
On Monday, the Atlanta City Council voted unanimously to approve a resolution to award the 10-year contract to Clear Channel, with no comments or discussion.
Clear Channel, which was the target of lawsuits over the contract, had bid $12.6 million as the first-year minimum annual guarantee to the airport.
